TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the impact of particular corporate governance mechanisms on firm environmental performance, such as the board of directors, managerial incentives, the market for corporate control, and the legal and regulatory system.
Abstract: We build on a stakeholder–agency theoretical perspective to explore the impact of particular corporate governance mechanisms on firm environmental performance. Our empirical evidence shows that several important corporate governance mechanisms such as the board of directors, managerial incentives, the market for corporate control, and the legal and regulatory system determine firms' environmental performance levels. These results suggest that these different governance mechanisms resolve, to some extent, the existing divergence of interests between stakeholders and managers with respect to environmental activities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the problem of endogeneity in the context of operations management research and examine some of the general technical material on endogeneity, paying special attention to the idiosyncrasies of operationsmanagement research and what could constitute reasonable criteria for addressing endogeneity.

TL;DR: The empirical findings show that NBFs are more likely to ally with pharmaceutical firms with the ability to create value, as long as these firms have the incentives to use their skills to create rather than appropriate value.
Abstract: We examine how new biotechnology firms (NBFs) select pharmaceutical firms as R&D allies as a function of value creation and value appropriation considerations. We develop a theoretical framework to understand partnering decisions accounting for both, a potential partner's ability as well as incentives to appropriate and create value within an R&D alliance. Our empirical findings show that NBFs are more likely to ally with pharmaceutical firms with the ability to create value, as long as these firms have the incentives to use their skills to create rather than appropriate value. Our study highlights the double-edged sword nature of value creation skills and provides a deeper understanding into the contextual factors that determine when potential R&D partners will perceive such skills as increasing appropriation risks.

TL;DR: It is shown that when r is small, the proposed classes of quadratic form statistics based on the residuals of margins or multivariate moments up to order r have better small-sample properties and are asymptotically more powerful than X2 for some useful multivariate binary models.
Abstract: High-dimensional contingency tables tend to be sparse, and standard goodness-of-fit statistics such as X2 cannot be used without pooling categories. As an improvement on arbitrary pooling, for goodness of fit of large 2n contingency tables, we propose classes of quadratic form statistics based on the residuals of margins or multivariate moments up to order r. These classes of test statistics are asymptotically chi-squared distributed under the null hypothesis. Further, the marginal residuals are useful for diagnosing lack of fit of parametric models. We show that when r is small (r = 2, 3), the proposed statistics have better small-sample properties and are asymptotically more powerful than X2 for some useful multivariate binary models. Related to these test statistics is a class of limited-information estimators based on low-dimensional margins. We show that these estimators have high efficiency for one commonly used latent trait model for binary data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define a strategy concept in order to situate the different approaches to the strategic use of ethics and social responsibility found in the current literature, and analyze the ethics of such approaches using both utilitarianism and deontology.
Abstract: Increasingly research in the field of business and society suggests that ethics and corporate social responsibility can be profitable. Yet this work raises a troubling question: Is it ethical to use ethics and social responsibility in a strategic way? Is it possible to be ethical or socially responsible for the wrong reason? In this article, we define a strategy concept in order to situate the different approaches to the strategic use of ethics and social responsibility found in the current literature. We then analyze the ethics of such approaches using both utilitarianism and deontology and end by defining limits to the strategic use of ethics.
